Let me quote the book on this one, then I'll explain.
"Then…I'm dead too?"
"Ah," dicho Dumbledore, smiling still más broadly, "That is the question, isn't it? On the whole, dear boy, I think not."
…
"Not?" repeated Harry.
…
"…I didn't defend myself! I meant to let him kill me!"
"And that…will, I think, have made all the difference."
Harry no más caused his "death" than anyone else. But, I'll get into that a bit later. First, a bit about the Elder Wand.
The Elder Wand never backfired on Voldemort. Harry was able to overpower it. Don't even think about asking me how. There are some preguntas even I can't answer.
Harry was ready to die. Just like his ancestor, Ignotus Peverell, he accepted Death as an old friend. Voldemort, on the other hand, feared Death. He saw Death as a sign of weakness. Thus, his attempts at immortality. In the end, Voldemort's fear overcame him. It became his undoing.
He was so afraid of Death that he handed Harry the best weapons to destroy him with. He obsessed over his Horcruxes and the prophecy.
As Dumbledore said, the fact that Harry meant to die made all the difference. Also, Voldemort, when he cast the fatal spell, attacked the bit of his own soul inside Harry first. Just as it is with inanimate Horcruxes, the soul in it is the first to go. They depend wholly on their containers.
The curse killed Harry's body. Not his soul. His soul remained untouched por the curse.
So, any questions?
